GRID Finance
Project Finance
When a scheme is a substation, a battery, a roof and eighteen months of programme, splitting it across three lenders is how it stalls. We structure it as one facility with drawdowns mapped to the build.
Range
£250,000 – £15,000,000
Term
3 – 15 years
Speed
Indicative structure within 5 working days
Fund the whole build
How it works
Multi-asset, multi-stage energy projects funded as one coordinated facility.
Structured around energisation
DNO timelines, G99 approvals and phased commissioning drive the drawdown schedule, not the purchase order date.
Revenue and saving stacks
Self-consumption, avoided demand charges, export, flexibility services. We underwrite the whole stack, not the easiest line.
Enabling works included
Groundworks, transformers, HV cabling, protection and grid connection costs sit inside the facility.
Contract-aware
EPC terms, PPAs, O&M and availability guarantees are read properly, because they are what the funder is actually lending against.
Good fit if
This is usually right for you when:
- 01
Total scheme value above £250k
- 02
A defined programme with an EPC or principal contractor
- 03
Grid position understood, even if not yet energised

FAQs
Project Finance: common questions
What businesses ask before they commit. If yours is not here, call 01604 969123.
When is project finance the right route instead of asset finance?
When the funding case rests on the project as a whole rather than one piece of equipment. Multi element schemes, phased builds and works involving several contractors usually suit a project structure with staged drawdowns.
How are drawdowns handled on a phased project?
Money is released against milestones such as order, delivery, installation and energisation, so you are not repaying capital on equipment that is not yet earning.
What information is needed for a project finance case?
The scope of works, supplier quotes, programme dates, the energy or operating case behind the project and recent accounts. The stronger the operating case, the better the case reads to a funder.
